Harry in special care at hospital

He came straight from hospital where he'd spent the first eight weeks of his life after being cast away on a rubbish tip in a black plastic bag.

At least two months premature, weighing less than 2kg, Harry was fighting for life when a local woman, Warda Salim, passed by the dump where she heard the tiniest whimper.

Something compelled her to look for the source of the sound and she opened the bag to find a baby with the umbilical cord and placenta still attached.

Compassionate Warda rushed him to a straight to a midwife and then on to hospital where he was put into a cot, with a heat lamp above, in the special care unit.
